Are there different versions of this? Fragrantica says it came out in 2010 but other internet sources say 2002. I’m confused.
I *finally* found a bottle on eBay. It arrived today. I have to say, I’m not immediately a fan. In fact, I really hate the heliotrope/lavender combo. It is dreadful until it dries down. It smells tolerable about 2 hours after spraying. I’m hoping it was just a bad day for it. I’m willing to give it another chance.

This was a delicious lemon lavender vanilla, and just sweet enough without being a tooth ache kind of perfume. I remember it was long lasting. The problem with brands bringing back old favorites is the IFRA has changed the rules. They almost never allow the original formula to be made because it’s not deemed safe in many cases. It’s a bunch of bs, but this is the way the fragrance industry has changed for the worse.

Everyone who loves this fragrance…I am begging you to email MAC and suggest (beg, scream, plea…) that they bring it back. MAC is a company that is notorious for discontinuing best sellers and (if they hear from enough of us) sometimes they will bring it back. I have been emailing them and listing the many, many, many reasons they should bring it back.
If we pull together maybe we have a chance!

Amazing scent! Too close to vanilla scent itself! I also loved MV1 and MV3. Why were these discontinued, anyway? I hope they bring them back! They would be best sellers!

I was so sad when this perfume was discontinued. I have just purchased Aquolina Gold Sugar, and the drydown scent is very very close to MV2. I would definitely try it if you loved MV2.

This was my favorite perfume (my signature). I was, as another reviewer noted, devastated. I bought up all I could get on Ebay (at inflated prices). I even tried to match the scent through a website (big mistake, paid $50 and didn’t smell at all like MV2). I hope MAC brings back, even if for a limited time.

Van Cleef & Arpels Midnight in Paris is a very (very) close scent match for MV2. I was devestated when MAC discontinued MV2 and after a very thorough search and testing about 50 fragrances I have found Midnight in Paris to be the closest scent match by far! Hopefully this will make some people very happy!

This is a very warm vanilla sense. I am so sad it was discontinued. I hope MAC bring it bag.

So impressive!!! Like an incandescent glowing metallic vanilla flower on skin…
I wear it under black winter clothes.

Does anyone know where I can purchase MAC MV3? The fragrances were discontinued, ebay has a couple that are supposedly “new”, but they’re charging $78 for a $40 bottle. I’ve tried all the “Discontinued” online stores – no luck. Please let me know if you have any info, thank you.

after buying mv2 i at first hated it. i thought it smelled like caramel and butter popcorn.it took me about a month to actually like this scent enough to wear and now it is my favorite! needless to say it has been discontinued and you can buy off ebay or amazon for about 80$ i saw it going for when it was only 25$ !! however check your outlet malls for the cosmetic company outlet!! (cco) they sell discontinued mac stuff and i found it there for 20$

Gorgeous “vanilla ice-cream/milkshake” scent
Feminine, flirty, inviting and tempting
Very appealing to a large section of the passerby’s

Mmmh my fave perfume right now!!I’m at the 3rd bottle…but I read somewhere on the internet it’s been discontinued!!!:( does anyone know? please tell me it’s not true!!

This one has the same milky quality to it that Prada has, but stronger. I don’t get the vanilla creme brulee, probably because I’m so distracted by the milky part. Not a pleasant experience for me I’m afraid. After trying to be patient to see if it would evolve, I finally couldn’t take it anymore and did the old wash off maneuver. But if your a fan of the milky quality in Prada, and a fan of gourmands, it’s probably worth checking out.

The finest perfume I’ve ever had! Smells like white chocolate… hmmm

I was hooked from the first smell.
Pure vanilla and sugar, love this to death. I wear it in the summer and it brings back memories!
dokkot – :
Wow I am surprised to see the notes! I tried it on today and it smelled like a caramelly dessert, like creme brulee – absolutely delicious and very gourmand! Definetely don’t smell any lavender in it – I get caramel and vanilla. Very warm and comforting. I like this one.

I had the original and enjoyed wearing it because of the lavender and vanilla notes. I had stop wearing it about a year ago MV2 original(vintage) since it became very synthetic smelling on me and over powering.
I hope they kept the basis of the original and lighten it up. I am looking forward to revisiting MAC MV2 as MV2 Hue.
